A Few Days Earlier
Arthur's POV

Arthur and Y/N ride back into camp. They hitch their horses.

Arthur: I'll see you later.

Y/N: Sure.

Arthur sees Abigail sitting in her tent. He walks by.

Abigail: Hey, Arthur! Come here a minute.

Arthur walks up.

Arthur: What is it?

She stands up.

Abigail: Can I ask you a favor?

Arthur: Probably not.

Abigail: Very funny.

Arthur heads towards a boulder.

Abigail: Would you do somethin' with Jack?

Arthur sits on the boulder.

Abigail: He seems kinda down.

She walks up to him.

Abigail: All this upheaval can't have been easy on the poor kid.

Arthur: Why? He says, standing up. Because I'm your preferred nursemaid?

Abigail: Because he likes you and, well...you know his father's useless.

Arthur scoffs.

Arthur: Okay.

Abigail: Thank you. She says, walking off.

Arthur looks over to see Y/N and Sadie laughing together. He smiles and walks over.

Arthur: What you two kids talkin' about?

They look behind them to see Arthur walk up.

Sadie: Just that damn bandana he's wearin'.

Arthur chuckles.

Arthur: How's that goin'?

Sadie: I can't get a lick of information on it.

Arthur: Oh, and you may never, Mrs. Adler.

Sadie: Do YOU know what he looks like?

Arthur: Sure.

Sadie looks at you.

Sadie: So you let HIM see?

Y/N: Why not?

Sadie: You are unbelievable.

Y/N: Arthur's a trustworthy man, he'd take a bullet for me, and I'd him.

Sadie: I see now... Trust.

Y/N: I trust everyone here, even you.

Sadie: Even Micah Bell?

Arthur: That's a whole other thing.

Y/N: I wouldn't trust that man to make my breakfast.

Arthur: I don't think he'd know how.

They all share a laugh. They hear something in the distance.

Kieran: Psst! Hey, kid!

They all turn around to see Kieran trying to talk to Jack. Jack turns to him.

Arthur: Son of a...

Y/N: Excuse us, Mrs. Adler.

Sadie: Of course.

Y/N stands up.

Arthur: Let's go.

They both start marching towards the tree.
